Not to mention that not all root servers are even in the US. According to that source:
However, a number of root servers lie outside the United States:
* i.root-servers.net is in Stockholm
* k.root-servers.net is in Amsterdam and London
* m.root-servers.net is in Tokyo
Couple that with anycast and other emerging redundancy methods and I'd say we have a pretty global effort to maintain DNS going on.
Again, according to wikipedia.org:
Use of anycast to implement DNS
A number of the Internet root nameservers are implemented as large numbers of clusters of machines using anycast. The C, F, I, J and K servers exist in multiple locations on different continents, using anycast announcements to provide a decentralized service. As a result most of the physical, rather than nominal, root servers are now outside the United States. (emphasis mine)
The original article that/. covered is not very detailed. Going back through the comments I found this quote from HardCase "The court also ruled that the plaintiffs were not prevented from bringing an action against anyone else, including Brittany Chan, the minor child of Candy Chan." (He is quoting this article at riaalawsuits.us. So they didn't allow the RIAA to amend the case at the time but nothing prevented them from bringing the case against her again.
Yeah, what I want to know is why it has to be women with a smoking gun? I mean, if a man is caught with a smoking gun over a body he's "taking control of the situation", but if it's a women everyone immediately suspects the worst. Sheesh, when are we gonna get some equality people?

That's K.A.O.S. if I remember correctly. :)
